The largest gift in the history of the Christus Santa Rosa Health System will be used to build a two-story lobby and entrance and fund family-center amenities, gardens, children's play areas, health and wellness initiatives, and community outreach activities. Renovations are scheduled to begin this summer and be completed by early 2015.

"We strongly believe this would be the best place for the sickest child," said Goldsbury Foundation executive director Suzanne Mead Feldmann. "We believe mission rather than margin means you end up taking care of the most important thing, and that is our children....We think it makes a lot of sense to take a facility that exists and repurpose it to be a first-class, Tier 1 children's hospital."
